How Joann’s Day Went:

Joann had another rough day today. She is slowing down and sleeping more, usually sitting in her lounger-chair. In the evening, she did fix her hair in time to play a short hand of cards with Bill and I. After her evening tablet set she stayed up until 1:00 AM. When I tried to get her to go to bed, she wouldn’t move farther then her lounger. I’m guessing that’s because she breathes better sitting up. So, I left her in her chair thinking she would come to bed later.
